Soulmates: Can You Have More Than One True Love?

Here is a pickle I posted on a forum.  It came in part from an idea that popped into my head and also from an experience I had heard of. 

It seems as though, now more than ever, people are finding their soulmates.  It also seems as though people are finding that they have more than one soulmate they could potentially spend the rest of their lives with…or is that really the case?

The (fictional) story:

It was predicted to Mary-Anne that she would meet her soulmate.  The prediction said that she would meet him at her workplace and that she would not recognize who he was upon first meeting.  She was given a physical description of the man and was told of his social, financial and emotional history.

She was told that she would meet her soulmate in six months.  He never came. 

Mary-Anne, having intuitive abilities herself, decided to do a tarot spread to find out where her soulmate was and what she needed to know about him in order to make the relationship work.  Having very little confidence in her own abilities, she decided to consult with a friend whose psychic abilities were more developed than hers were.  The friend confirmed 98% of the story. 

Two months passed, and although she advanced in her career somewhat, she did not notice her “someone special.”  Low and behold, she happened upon a man she thought was very attractive and had a great personality.  She wasn’t thinking about the soulmate prediction at the time, but she couldn’t help but to feel somewhat strange about this man.  Underconfident, she figured he would never be interested in her and she would never meet “the one.”

Disenchanted, she decided to visit another psychic, whom she did not know.  This psychic told her that she had two soulmates.  One she would meet at work and would not be ready for a relationship for a while and another she would meet with friends, who was successful and ready for a relationship.  The man she met at work was the one who was not ready.  The stable one, she had not yet met.

Mary-Anne was confused.  Jason, the co-worker she had met, seemed to “feel right” to her.  Yet, Nathan, the man she had not met yet, seemed like the safer bet. 

Which one should Mary-Anne choose?  Well, Mary-Anne did not know for sure if both were her true soulmates or if she was supposed to choose just one.  While from the outside, it seemed as though the universe blessed her with twice the love, Mary-Anne became afraid and depressed–what if she made the wrong choice?

Okay, Really, So Which One Should She Choose?

When it comes to making choices, I personally do not like to be asked by my clients or friends what road should be taken.  When it comes to situations like this, which are rare, it becomes an oversimplification of a situation to simply ask “which one?” 

The choice is very easy for Mary-Anne, because it appears as though she has already made her choice.  The problem here is that she needs to figure out the lesson she is supposed to be learning from this choice. 

Judging by this story, one important lesson Mary-Anne needs to learn is one of patience.  Just because a psychic gives a timeframe, it does not automatically mean that said event will happen when the psychic says it will.  Mary-Anne also needs to learn that she needs to trust her instincts and her psychic abilities.  Mary-Anne had predicted for herself who her soulmate was, already.  Yet, she refused to believe in her own message.  Mary-Anne needs to understand that even if she does have two soulmates, both of which could be the correct choice, she has to understand that her soulmates probably don’t know who they are to her and they need their own time in which to even start a relationship with her. 

In my research about soulmates, the path to “together forever” is rarely an easy one because soulmates are more than romantic partners–they learn and grow in a complete and whole sense.  The road may be a difficult one to travel, but it is a natural road in which both partners automatically travel down.  Although the “safer bet” would offer a certain degree of happiness, “safe” does not always guarantee “growth.”  The “growth” must also be on an equal footing.  If there is nothing for Jason or Nathan to gain from Mary-Anne, then in all likelihood, they are not soulmates at all. 

If Nathan is stable, but Jason is the true soulmate, then there is a high possibility Nathan is showing Mary-Anne a lesson of not being tempted by the ease of a situation and to really understand what it is she wants out of a relationship.  On the other hand, if Jason is slow to draw and more adventurous, but Nathan is the true soulmate, then there is a high possibility that Jason is showing Mary-Anne a lesson of not wasting time on a relationship that will not go anywhere and to go with the relationship promising abundance.

Again, which one should Mary-Anne choose?  Well, my simple answer is: Mary-Anne will never be able to choose which one is the one she is supposed to be with in this lifetime, on her own.  The soulmate intended for her in this lifetime must also step forward.
